Hello All, I just received a new NUC5i3RYH along with a M.2 SSD and 8gb stick of memory.
I want to attach this to a TV via a VGA connection (the TV also has HDMI of course). So I also
bought a miniDP-to-VGA adapter. After installing memory and SSD, and connect it to the TV
via the adapter to initial boot, I get nothing (no signal detected) on TV. I also tried a true monitor
via VGA, also nothing. I do not have a miniHDMI-to-HDMI cable or I would try that. I attached
headphones during the power on, I got just one solid beep for about a second, which I assume
means memory is ok.
My question is: are both miniDP and HDMI enabled for output initially, or is there a keyboard
sequence to swap between them??? My keyboard/mouse is USB 2.0 wireless if that matters.
The VGA inputs on the TV/monitor are known to be working.
My guess would be the adapter is not compatible (it says it's for Apple macs), but if anyone
has any ideas or suggestions I would appreciate it very much.
Components:
Adapter: Fosmon HD1826 Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
Memory: Crucial 8GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Notebook Memory CT102464BF160B
SSD: Transcend 128 GB SATA III 6Gb/s MTS800 80 mm M.2 SSD Solid State Drive TS128GMTS800
Thanks, Steve
PS: to anticipate questions about why VGA over HDMI: it is because of sound, I like to
be switched over to "PC" on my TV (ie the VGA input) but still hear the audio from the
cable box (which is connected via HDMI through an A/V switcher).
